EastIndiaCompany

316 Gwalior/East India Company, Gwalior Fort, Rupee, in the name of Shah Alam II, year 46, rev European-style sword. Very fine and rare. £200-300

Gwalior Fort was occupied by the British from November 1802 to November 1804. This Rupee is dated year 46 of Shah Alam, though the full date is off the flan. Another specimen published by Barry Tabor in JONS 196 (p.32) is dated AH 1218, which ran from the end of July 1803 to April 1804. The mintname is not visible on either coin but stylistically this issue, apart from the European-style sword, is very much like other Rupees of this period from Gwalior Fort mint. This type of sword, known only on Rupees of this particular date could therefore well be a symbol of the British occupation.
